As a fan you should be happy with him. Let his improvement areas be up to him and this coaching staff and stop finding stupid ish to complain about. It's pathetic and ungrateful. The kid had a great game on national tv against a top 15 opponent. Be happy and stop finding negatives. Jesus.

It is a negative thread. Why not say "thank you stokes for your efforts." let's not give this "different view" a chance to breathe because it shouldn't.

With that said, THANK YOU STOKES. Thanks for your effort and thank you to the Tennessee team for scraping and getting a huge win at TBA. Go VOLS

Agree 1,000%. And his first game was against Kentucky and all that talent. I can't believe some people on here.

Quit crying about the topic. The coaches think about this same topic as should every coach. Stokes is great, it is ok to critique him though.

We just got a huge win. So I guess this is a great time to find negatives as a fan. You had a key word in your point, coach. We are not coaches at Tennessee so stop acting like it. Stop being overly critical. You people are pathetic for turning to criticism immediately following a good win. Most fanbases don't pull that crap.

Hey jackwagon, which one is it? Stop the topic? or It's ok to critique?

It must be upsetting not to be able to post about 100 angry, drunk postgame comments of bashing.

It is a message board. People discuss things. I know this is difficult for some to understand.

Volnation being a message board doesn't make all topics acceptable. Still a stupid culture that Tennessee has with its fanbase. Rather sad. Besides its a message board, I can discuss the stupidity of this topic if I want to.

I think the whole team needs to work on free throws. Maybe we should move TBA to Hawaii because they were great there

needs to work on his screens they are pretty bad, he also needs to demand the ball more IMO and obviously as stated free throws. (the defense and conditioning arent bad they are coming along and getting better) as for his pre shot routine i actually dont have a problem with it, he takes his time and bends his knees giving him good arc on the shot, thats half of peoples problem with ft shooting. as one of the commentators said, it will get better he is too good of a shooter with a great touch to not shoot good from the line. i would expect to see it steadily improve throughout the season, on a positive spin though he made them when he needed to.

He just turned 18 and should be in his last semester of high school. Give him a break. He's going to be great

the guy is amazing. a freshman who records a double double in a victory over a top #15 team...who happens to be the defending national champs? Oh...and we had a losing record going into the game...I can't wait to watch future highlights on utsports.com

Okay, so it's very easy to see just how good stokes is.

So, I wanted to talk a bit about what he needs to improve.

The only thing I have an issue with at this point is his free throw shooting.

His pre-shot routine is awful and the shot never looks good coming off his hands like it does when he is shooting a J.

What else have you all noticed about his game that needs improvement?

For the record, this is not a negative thread, just a different view. I think he is going to be a stud. Right now he is the best player UT has.[/QUOTE

:spank::spank::spank:

You should be horse whipped for even thinking about pointing out flaws at this point in his UT career! :finger3:

Ball handling. Gotta be stronger with his hands, he gets it slapped away often it seems to me.

He needs to learn how to set up a screen properly. Every time he sets a screen he never blocks anybody he misses by 2 feet. Anybody else notice he always misses his man when setting a screen?
